Have you heard about the latest trend in hash? Piattella - sometimes spelled piatella - has crystal heads and some call it the best hash ever made.
Since the terminology does not exist in Greek let me use the term Piattela in feminine gender and not neuter, i.e. piattella and not (hash) piattela.
Piattela is therefore a revolutionary technique that combines technological advances with the rich traditions of the hashish universe, catering to potheads looking for the best experience that cannabis concentrates have to offer.
Below, explore the essence of Piattella and delve into the intricate process behind its creation.
What is Piattella?
Piattella, which is derived from freshly frozen material, is essentially hashish that is cold mashes to a butter-like texture. It is often made using 6-star, higher quality hash, known as "full melt", which melts effortlessly when evaporated, leaving little to no residue on the surface.
While cold curing is not a new concept, Piattella's technique focuses on enhancing flavours through time and ambient temperature, creating a distinctive texture and appearance. The resulting cold fragmented hash bears a remarkable resemblance to small, solid pieces of candy. Its consistency is firm enough to cut precisely, like butter, without sticking or leaving a residue.
Famous hashish experts, such as Zio from Uncle's Farms, a leading cannabis social club in Barcelona, have played an important role in the development of the Piattella hashing technique.
Using top-tier six-star hash from award-winning hash manufacturers such as La Sagrada Farms and Slite 23, Zio has perfected a method for achieving the ultimate cure. His process unlocked the maximum expression of the strain, expanding the realm of solvent-free magic and allowing enthusiasts to experience a differentiated hash like never before.
How is Piattella made?
The curing process involves a fine precision dance and the right variety. Zio explained that the key lies in waiting for the ice water fragmentation to start melting, using time and temperature as a guiding force. The goal of Piattella's meticulous curing process is to slow down oxidation, providing consumers with the opportunity to enjoy a fresh Piattella at the peak of its perfection.
The process starts by wrapping the full melt of frozen hash in cellophane top quality . This wrap ensures zero contact between the hash and air, mirroring the traditional techniques used with temple balls. The well-rolled hash is then placed in a vacuum-sealed glass container, allowing the natural alchemy of cold curing to unfold.
Over time, the cold curing process causes the hash to release terpenes, forming a protective outer layer. This subtle transformation imparts a slightly liquid consistency, reminiscent of traditional hashish or rosin badder.
The basic aims of the process remain unchanged: enhancing flavours, stabilising the hash at room temperature and extending its longevity beyond freezing.
How is Piattella consumed?
Piattella hashish can be enjoyed in many ways, so you can enjoy it however you like. You can roll it into a buffet or add it to your vaporizer or, of course, to an oil bong. It offers a truly unique experience, characterized by a great blend of effects, aromas and flavors.
Piattella's popularity also stems from its practicality. The carefully engineered hardening ensures a significantly extended shelf life, setting it apart from the delicate ice water hash made from fresh frozen material. The risk of compromising the texture, flavour and aroma of the extraction due to exposure to environmental conditions is significantly minimised with Piattella.
